On the .subj M't of temperance, of women, of slavery, of marriage, the most ultra, tho most uncompromising theories are daily promulgated from press and pul pit, from lecture-room and tribune, with a vehemence that seems to threaten the safe ty of the spheres.

AVe of this age are apt to imag- th.at in this, as in other things, as it iue now is so it always was, but a very little study .f our history serves to dispel this error. The first conviction of the irrcat men of the Revolution, of the men before the Revolution, of the members of the Stamp Act Congress of 17C5, of tho Con- gross of 1771, was the vital necessity of the formation of a strict and intimate un ion of the Colonies, but how slow and painful a task was i to impress this truth upon the minds of the pcpl- of the differ ent sovereignties? how many local jealous ies, how many petty ambitions was it nec essary to extinguish to crush before tho creation of tlie statesmen of the heroic ae of the Republic could bo brought into ox- j known only by our States, and New A'ork ; foreign influence any 1-vss?

It was months after defin itive treaty of peace of 1783 arrived be fore a quorum of Congress could be got to gether to ratify it; and three years later the Government had fiirly perished of atro phy. The Constitution of 1C87 was framed, but how fierce was the opposition of the Anti-Federnlis s in the mvat States? Not even the memory of tho dangers of the j war, no even the immediate peril of intes-' tine dissensions, could silenct th". jealous e ,i i .-I. .i i,. against the preference of their sister States aud tho last article of the Federal Charter, in no indirect terms, declares that its fra mersonly felt themselves secure of the co operation of nine out of the 'thirteen old' States. The war with England followed, and, without attaching too much importance to the odium whiehastened itself on the con vention held at Hartford, it is very certain that a large pcrtion of the most thinking: and intelligent men of the Eastern States were thoroughly alienated from tlie Feder- al Government, and ready to take almost! any action hostile to it that their sound sense and natural shrewdness would have deemed safe. Twenty-five years ago a body of bold and able men at the South were c-only ar- rayed against the Union, resistance to its laws was openly threatened by Sovereign States, and the wh.de authority of the ster- nest will by which the Government has ev- lx .1..!..! . . .1 t i . ..v..,,.....,. ...m, I'.'vmu in.-ces.uy to sustain the Constitution and Laws f tlie Confederacy. owhow great the contrast!

It is not now a question of revenue or finance, of oanK or tarni; it is one directly alb-cting the very essenco of labor, the very exist - once of capital, entering in'o social rcla - tions, connected with the social organ iza- tion itself, geographical in is nature, and of all others the most calculated to excite by human beings, and came out of no IIo an angry sectional contest.

Tlie man of the North cm not ! ent pos'iiiou. obey such part of the instrument as suits; What that poiv.ion i, or ought to l? him, and disregard the clause of the com-i in legard to the white and black races on pact that offends him. This doctrine would j our continent, has been much wrangled I not answer any better South, East, or j West. If it were admitted that the Constituti-jn contained great palpable defects, stiil the i duly and interest to support it, so long as j it continued, would bo no less clear. If, from any idea cf expediency, of miscalled moral duty, of misunderstood necessity, the American people could be seduced in- i to an open disregard of the Consti uticn: i no matter in what, clause?, how "; j how trifling; the sanetky of the instrument is gone, a-d with it all the protection that it aifords.
